After a miscarriage 9 months ago, I noticed my cycles were definitely not how they should be. I was experiencing 10 day luteal phases and periods lasting up to 12 days every cycle. I also was actively trying to get pregnant and it wasn’t happening. I went to a couple of doctors and they basically told me my body just needed more time to recover from the miscarriage. I knew my cycle could be encouraged to get back on track with some help from herbs. After asking the herbalists at Natural-Fertility-Info.com many questions I decided on vitex. I took vitex for two months and was starting to see improvement in my cycles. The third month I added in maca. I was also taking my whole food prenatal and an additional 100 mg of b6 alongside a food based b-complex. I stuck to the fertility diet as much as possible. I was pregnant that third month on vitex! I had my first ultrasound last week, which showed a healthy baby measuring right on according to my last period. I am now 9 weeks pregnant.
